chapter 24

Dan Gifford’s mind was in overdrive. He gulped his coffee, not realizing how hot it was until it was too late. It would be days before he would be able to taste his food again. “Are you sure?” he asked Bobby Marcus.

“I have this friend at the bureau, owes me a few favors,” Marcus explained. “That’s what he says.”

The information on Richard Schwartz was puzzling, but it definitely fit; Israeli agents in cahoots with one of the FBI’s foremost experts on Nazi war criminals. Only, what were they doing outside Martin Rosen’s office?

Gifford entertained the possibility that they could be after someone in a neighboring building or in one of the other apartments in Rosen’s building. Maybe a resident, guest, or even one of the professional tenants. The possibilities were plentiful.

Either way, Gifford realized that Schwartz was right; it really wasn’t his problem. He already had enough on his plate with the upcoming drug trial. Yet, having to keep all this from Rosen irked him. What if Rosen was somehow unwittingly involved, whether through another patient or in some other way?

Gifford was knee-deep in this thing. He couldn’t continue his therapy, business-as-usual, while keeping this a secret; he couldn’t divulge the secret either, until he knew it was safe to do so; and he couldn’t imagine quitting therapy, one of the few things in his life that was working. “You seem to have a lot of people owing you,” he said to Marcus.

They were sitting at their usual corner table in Starbucks. They spoke quietly beneath the noise of the crowd, assuring their privacy. “Don’t fret, Danny boy. You’ll join the club soon enough.”

“I’m already there. You’ve done a lot for me, Bobby. I don’t forget things like this.”

Marcus ignored the comment. He was uncomfortable with accolades from friends. “So, what do you want me to do next?”

Gifford weighed the question. It wouldn’t cause any harm to dig a little deeper, especially with Marcus doing the digging. Gifford trusted his instincts about Marcus, as he did about most things. Marcus was good, always covered his tracks well. It was highly unlikely the FBI would get wind of anything. “Do you think you could find out exactly what Schwartz is working on?”

“That’s a tall order, boss.”

“I know.”

The two friends looked at each other.

“I’ll see what I can do.”
